Foam and fibre converter Peak Converters will become energy self-sufficient by the middle of this month.
The company has begun installing more than 500 solar panels on the roof of its Wirksworth, Peak District factory.
‘We are really excited about this project which will result in 111% of our energy being generated from solar with surplus going back into the national grid. This investment demonstrates our dedication to reducing our environmental impact and brings us closer to achieving our long-term goal of becoming a net-zero converter. We are leading by example by ensuring a brighter, greener future,’ says Mike Crowshaw, Peak Converters md.
Peak’s project is equivalent to avoiding 54tons of CO2 output – comparable to planting 10,318 trees over the lifetime of the system.
